Abstract

We first obtain the exact value for bipartite density of a cubic line graph on n vertices. Then we give an upper bound for the bipartite density of cubic graphs in terms of the smallest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. In addition, we characterize, except in the case n = 20, those graphs for which the upper bound is obtained.
